   Sammanfattning : This dissertation analyses feminist activists’ use of human rights in post-revolutionary Egypt from 2011 to 2019.

   Sammanfattning : Homonationalism and nationalist anti-LGBTQ politics and activism are two geographical and historical processes which contradict each other, as the latter frequently targets the former (and vice versa).

   Sammanfattning : The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), adopted by the UN in 2006, represents the coming of age of a human rights approach to disability. In doing so, it provides answers to the questions what ‘disability’ is, who ‘persons with disabilities’ are and what entitlements are legitimate and relevant in relation to ‘disability’. LÄS MER
